History
Songhuajiang station (Chinese: 松花江站; pinyin: Sōnghuājiāng Zhàn; lit. 'Songhua River railway station') was opened in October 1899 by the Chinese Eastern Railway.[1] It was renamed Harbin Station in July 1903.[2] It was renovated in 1960, 1972, 1989, and 2002. In 2015, construction of new Harbin railway station began, using the design of the original Art Nouveau style in the 1903-built old station. The north and south terminals both completed renovations in 2017, with the terminals of the newly built Harbin railway station opened for public service.[3]
On 26 October 1909, Korean nationalist An Jung-geun assassinated Itō Hirobumi (伊藤博文), the first Prime Minister of Japan, on the platform at Harbin Station. Itō had been Japan's Resident-General in Korea until a few months before his assassination. A memorial hall honoring An Jung-geun was opened on Sunday, 19 January 2014 in Harbin. The hall, a 200-square-metre (2,200 sq ft) room, features photos and memorabilia.[4] However, it was closed and demolished in 2017.
